Dana Lynn brings her 8th installment in the Amish Country Justice. For me this was easily a stand alone book since I had not read any of the books in this series. Sophie Larson has been on a path for advancement in her career and has been her complete focus in recent years. Unfortunately a month ago her father, mother, and brother were killed in a home invasion which leaves her the sole guardian of her younger, preteen sister. I immediately liked Sophie. Even though she’s grieving she wants to do what’s best for her sister. She is dealing with a crisis of faith. She realizes that she when she left for college that she has put all her focus in career and how she can get what she wants. She has left her faith in God behind.
Aiden Foster is a lieutenant in the police department who has been working undercover for 6 months trying to gain evidence against the man who killed his partner. Aiden realizes working with the seedier side of life has started to jade him and he doesn’t want to become one of those people who blurs the lines of law. Suddenly, he’s faced with a choice of saving an innocent life, Sophie, or walking away. Choice made which puts him on the run for not only his life, but offering protection of innocent lives.
This book hooked me from the first page and kept me turning until after 2 am when I finished the book. It is filled with elements of mystery, edge of your seat suspense, faith, and love. This is a book I would recommend to anyone. *I received this book from the author. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
